Mauro Camoranesi accepts Cristiano Ronaldo will be given less space in Italy but is confident ‘he’ll score tons’ for Juventus this season.
Ronaldo’s failure to score in his first two Serie A appearances has led some to suggest he will struggle to replicate his goalscoring form for Juve, but Camoranesi believes his ‘explosive power’ and Juve’s ‘understanding’ will prove lethal.
Mauro Camoranesi accepts Cristiano Ronaldo will be given less space in Italy but is confident ‘he’ll score tons’ for Juventus this season.
Ronaldo’s failure to score in his first two Serie A appearances has led some to suggest he will struggle to replicate his goalscoring form for Juve, but Camoranesi believes his ‘explosive power’ and Juve’s ‘understanding’ will prove lethal.
“We’re talking about a player who has scored more than 500 goals, with exceptional qualities,” the former Italy winger told Tuttosport.
“Just because he didn’t score in his first two games, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just one of those things.
“He’ll score tons of goals before the end of the season. He has everything, explosive power, pace and technique.
“Many teams in Italy defend with many players in their own half. This limits the space he has, so an understanding with his teammates is needed to find it, as well as his great power.
“The ideal way to feed him would be to give him the ball with only one or two opponents for him to get past, but that’ll hardly happen in Italy.
“What is for certain is that Juve’s players, with their qualities, won’t struggle to understand each other.
“Juventus have so much quality that in attack, everyone can play with each other and everyone will be important.
“Allegri will be able to make changes and keep standards high.”
